I searched the forums and didnt' come up with much on this topic.

I used to use backup in Win2k Pro all the time, and I would burn the resulting system state file (about 250 megs or so) onto a CD as part of my monthly system backup. Now that I have moved to a machine with winXP Home, I can't find this option anywhere. All I see is the option to create restore points,which is fine, but I'd like to be able to back up my system state files to CD every once in a while.

Does this option exist in XP home? if so, how do I create a system state file? Or is there any way to burn the restore point data to cd?

If you go to the Windows backup application, there's an option near the bottom of the list to save System State. Once that's selected, you get to choose where you want the files dropped.

Good Luck
